REPORT 

Of  the  Committee  of  the  South  Carolina  Association,  entrusted 
tv ith  the  balance  of  the  fund  given  by  Governor  Pickens  U 
the  Colonels  of  the  South  Carolina  Regiments  in  Virginia: 

By  action  of  both  houses  of  the  Legislature  at  their  last 
.session,  the  sum  of  thirteen  thousand!  four  hundred  and  eighty- 
two  dollars  and  fifty  cents,  (§13,482  50,)  being  the  unexpended 
balance  of  the  fund  given  by  Governor  Pickens  in  July,  1861, 
to  the  Colonels  of  the  South  Carolina  Regiments  in  Virginia, 
and  approved  of  by  the  Legislature,  was  turned  over  to  the  Ex- 
ecutive Committee  of  the  South  Carolina  Hospital  Aid  Asso- 
ciation, Subject  to  the  check  of  the  Chairman  of  that  Commit- 
tee. In  its  expenditure  it  was  denned  best,  to  confine  it  to  such 
permanent  and  general  arrangements  for  the  relief  of  the  sick 
and  wounded,  as  would  furnish  a  basis  for  the  application  of 
contributions  from  private  generosity  and  enterprise,  and  bo 
impartially  available  to  all  the  troops  from  the  State.  It  was 
therefore — as  the  annexed  exhibit  will  show — mainly  expended 
in  the  rent  and  furnishing  of  the  South  Carolina  Hospitals — 
in  the  purchase  of  supplies  in  bulk — and  the  transportation  of 
agents,  freight,  kc. 

For  a  succinct  account  of  all  of  our  Hospitals,  and  of  the 
work  done  by  the  Committee  in  behalf  of  the  sick  and  suffering, 
I  refer  to  the  pamphlet  accompanying  this  official  report,  which 
is  designed  both  to  furnish  an  account  of  our  stewardship  to 
the  various  benefactors,  individual  and  associated,  who  have 
thought  fit  to  make  us  the  medium  of  their  patriotic  charities — 
as  well  as  to  be  a  memorial  of  the  noble  exertions  and  sacrifices 
of  the  women  of  our  State  in  behalf  of  their  brave  defenders. 
It  will  be  seen  by  the  financial  statements  contained  therein, 
that  Die  vol  mtary  contributions  of  the  people  have  kept  pace 
with  the  bounty  of  the  State,' and  have  been  used  for  the  most 
part  in  defraying  incidental  and  current  expenses. 

Owing  to  the  fact  that  the  condition  of  the  Hospitals  gene- 
rally, have  become  much  improved  of  late  under  the  vigorous, 
systematic  and  judicious  exertions  of  the  Medical  Department; 
the  necessity  which  called  for  the  establishment  of  private  and 


State  Hospitals  has  ceased  to  exist.  These  were  always  designed 
by  us  to  be  temporary  and  auxiliary  to  the  Government  arrange- 
ments. Not  being  embarrassed  by  the  technicalities  incident  to 
Governmental  operations,  we  could  extemporize  provisions  for 
the  sick  and  wounded ;  and  by  reason  of  our  freedom  of  action  and 
access  to  irregular  sources  and  means  of  supply,  could  relieve 
much  suffering  by  the  way,  until  more  ample  and  permanent  ar- 
rangements could  be  effected.  The  application  of  money,  there- 
fore, to  the  establishment  of  Hospitals  and  Homes  for  the  sick 
was  thought  judicious.  But  now  that  everything  in  the  Medi- 
cal Department  is  systematized,  and  it  is  all  important  that  uni- 
formity every  where  prevail,  and  responsibility  be  no  where 
divided — we  have  deemed  it  equally  wise  to  retire  from  the 
management  of  the  Hospitals,  and  to  turn  them  over  to  the 
Government  authorities,  giving  them  all  of  the  furniture,  &c, 
and  assigning  to  them  the  liabilities  for  rent,  &c.  This  has  also 
been  done,  I  understand,  with  the  Hospitals  of  other  States. 
Still  our  work  is  not  ended.  Much  is  yet  to  be  done.  The 
sick  in  Hospitals  need  other  and  better  attention  ;  more  and 
more  costly  nourishment  than  is  afforded  by  the  appointed  ar- 
rangements. ( There  is  too  much  suffering  in  the  field,  during 
and  after  battles,  before  the  slow  machinery  of  a  Government, 
bound  by  rules  and  forms,  can  come  up  to  the  rescue.  Tempo- 
rary field  and  way-side  provision  for  the  sick  are  all  important 
to  the  health  and  spirits  of  the  volunteer. 

Then,  too,  clothing  is  as  necessary  to  the  sick  as  medicine. 
This  is  to  be  supplied  in  addition  to  the  quota  drawn  from  a 
Kegimental  Quartermaster. 

The  soldier  is  unversed  in  many  of  the  intricacies  of  de- 
partments— he  needs  a  friend  to  aid  him  in  drawing  his  pay — 
getting  his  furlough  or  discharge — depositing  his  funds  or  bag- 
gage— writing  to  his  friends,  or  securing  the  remains  of  a  fallen 
comrade. 

Much  baggage,  valuable  beyond  computation  now,  has  been 
lest  by  the  absence  of  some  careful,  interested  custodian.  Many 
boxes,  richly  freighted  with  articles  of  food  and  apparel,  no 
where  to  be  obtained  in  camp,  and  full  of  inspiring  and  cheerful 
thoughts  of  home,  and  the  fond  ones  he  is  defending,  are  de- 
stro}red  or  pilfered  from  the  soldier  by  the  way,  for  Want  of 
safe  transportation  and  forwarding. 

The  Executive  Committee  have,  therefore,  in  retiring  from 
the  management  of  individual  Hospitals,  retained  their  interest 
in  the  sick  whereicr  found,  and  the  needy  wherever  known  to 
be,  and  the  soldiers  every  where.  They  have  established  in 
Richmond  a  Hospital  Bureau  and  Baggage  Depot,  where  they 


issue  to  all  Hospitals  containing  Carolinians,  what  they  most 
need,  in  clothing,  and  nourishment — where  they  store  all  of  the 
private  effects  of  officers  and  men,  and  where  they  receive  and 
forward  all  supplies  sent  by  friends  at  home.  They  are  also  the 
appointed  agents  of  the  clothing  associations  throughout  the 
State.  They  desire  to  have  in  their  establishment  an  apartment 
for  housing  any  soldier,  who,  arriving  late,  may  be  unable  to 
get  any  shelter  for  the  night  in  the  crowded  hotels  of  Rich- 
mond— to  employ  shoe-makers,  laundresses,  and  seamstresses; 
for  repairing  and  cleaning  worn  and  soiled  apparel — in  short, 
to  attend  in  any  and  every  way  to  the  manifold  and  ever-vary- 
ing necessities  of  our  volunteers.  The  aid  of  the*  State  patron- 
age is  therefore  still  solicited.  Other  States  are  awake  to  the 
importance  of  this  parental  regard  for  their  sons.  The  State 
of  Georgia  appropriated  a  year  ago,  $200,000.  The  State  of 
Alabama  gave  to  that  public  spirited  matron,  Mrs.  Hopkins, 
thirty  thousand  dollars,  and  the  Governors  of  North  Carolina 
have  pledged  the  State  to  an  unlimited  amount  in  provisions  for 
the  sick  and  destitute  of  her  troops. 

And  the  Palmettoans  will  be  equally  favored  by  their  mother. 
In  behalf  of  the  soldiers  of  our  country,  the  wounded  in  the  field, 
the  sick  in  Hospitals — in  behalf  of  the -anxious  and  tender 
hearts  at  home — in  behalf  of  the  work  in  which  we  are  engaged, 
a  work  in  which  your  Committee  are  willing  to  wear  their  lives 
out,  rather  than  let  it  fall  through — they  ask  the  liberal  provi- 
sions of  the  present  Legislature.  The  people  will  do  much,  are 
doing  much  ;  but  we  must  have  something  more  definite  and  reli- 
able than  the  occasional  out-pouring  of  publjfi  sympathy  and 
charities.  The  money  appropriated  will  be  caroully  husbanded 
and  judiciously  used,  and  closely  accounted  for.  All  that  is 
asked  is  that  it  should  not  be  appropriated  for  a  specific  pur- 
pose, but  so  generally  as  to  be  available  every  where,  and  for 
any  emergency  that  may  arise.

REPORT 


On  the  fourth  day  of  July,  1861,  a  proposition  was  made  by 
Rev.  R.  W.  Barnwell,  with  the  advice  of  Dr.  M.  LaBorde,  to 
President  Davis,  and  to  the  Surgeon  General,  Dr.  Camden  De- 
Leon,  to  give  permission  and  countenance  to  the  establishment 
of  Hospitals  along  the  line  of  our  defences,  under  the  care  of 
certain  ladies  and  gentlemen  of  our  State,  who  Lad  volunteered 
for  the  work.  It  did  not  meet  with  such  approval  as  was  desira- 
ble, and  the  scheme  was  deemed  impracticable  and  promotive 
only  of  confusion  and  evil ;  and  it  was  said  that  it  could  not 
promise  any  permanent  relief,  and  was  calculated  to  impede, 
rather  than  promote,  the  operations  of  the  Medical  Department 
of  the  Army.  But  the  sickness  which  broke  out  so  fearfully 
among  our  troops;  together  with  the  great  lack  of  provisions  for 
our  wounded,  at  the  battle  of  Manassas ;  induced  still  further 
effort ;  and  since  the  authority  to  establish  hospitals  was  with- 
held, the  idea  was  entertained,  to  establish  a.  depository  for  fur- 
nishing hospitals,  wherever  they  might  be  located,  with  all  man- 
ner of  aid,  in  the  way  of  attendance,  nourishment  and  clothing. 
The  hearty  concurrence  of  the  very  able  and  successful  Medical 
Director  of  the  Army  of  the  Potomac,  Surgeon  Thos.  H.  Wil- 
liams, in  this  plan,  together  with  his  counsel  as  to  the  best  mode 
of  procedure,  and  promise  of  assistance,  induced  us  to  establish 
a  Colony  of  Carolinians  near  one  of  the  main  hospitals  of  Nor- 
thern Virginia,  and  to  open  a  Bureau  for  the  reception  and  dis- 
tribution of  hospital  stores,  which  might  be  contributed  by  the 
people  of  our  State.  Culpeper  was  first  chosen ;  but  for  good 
reasons,  Charlottesville  was  subsequently  selected,  as  a  more 
eligible  site.  A  dwelling  house  was  promptly  secured,  nearest 
the  largest  hospital  in  that  town,  and  a  store-house  in  conveni- 
ent proximity.  Telegraphs  and  letters  appealing  for  aid,  and 
suggesting  the  organisation  of  district  and  village  "  Soldier  Re- 
lief and  Hospital  Aid  Societies,"  were  despatched.  The  valua- 
ble co-operation  of  several  energetic  and  philanthropic  gentle- 
men, who  happened  to  be  in  Richmond  ;  prominent  among  whom 
were  Mr.  William  C.  Bee,  the  lamented  George  M.  Coffin,  Prof. 
Rivers  of  the  South  Carolina  College,  and  Dr.  Richard  North, 
of  Charleston,  was  secured.  The  express  quickly  brought,  in 
response  to  our  telegrams,  lot  upon  lot  of  valuable  boxes,  con- 


taining  sheets,  pillow-cases,  towels,  wine,  brandies,  gelatine, 
knives  and  forkr,  plates  and  spoons — every  necessary  of  the 
sick  couch — every  comfort  of  the  sick-room.  Dr.  Branch,  of 
Abbeville,  came  on  immediately  after  with  thirty-six  cases,  from 
the  prompt  and  energetic  Abbevillians,  and  added  the  valuable 
effort  of  Mrs.  Branch  and  Mrs.  Turner,  to  the, work  already  in- 
augurated by  Mrs.  Singleton  and  her  daughters,  the  late  Mrs. 
Haskell  and  Mrs.  Barnwell.  The  fitld  of  labor  proved  a  vast 
and  most  interesting  one — and  we  were  daily  reinforced  by  per- 
sonal, monetary  and  material  aid.  Dr.  Bissell,  of  the  Palmetto 
Guards,  and  Mr.  Stedman,  a  student  of  medicine,  Mr.  Carr,  of 
Charleston,  Mr.  Latimer,  of  Abbeville,  Mr.  Jones,  from  the 
firm  of  Stevenson  &  Co.,  Mr.  Jackson,  so  well  known  for  his 
labors  in  Norfolk  during  the  yellow  fever  epidemic,  and  who  is 
acting  the  same  noble  part  now  in  Wilmington,  on  temporary 
leave  from  the  Petersburg  hospital,  formed  our  little  Colony. 
It  then  became  necessary  to  obtain  an  additional  residence  for 
our  corps.  Nurses  were  sent  on  to  us  by  the  "  Young  Men's 
Christian  Association,'1  of  Charleston ;  and  from  every  village 
in  the  State  contributions  poured  in,  until  our  shelves  were  over- 
flowing. The  business  capacities  and  habits  of  Messrs.  Coffin 
and  Bee,  set  on  foot  a  plan  of  systematic  accounts  and  records, 
which  has  enabled  us,  in  the  midst  of  much  hurry  and  confusion, 
to  preserve  a  valuable  record  of  our  transactions. 

The  premises  hired  by  us,  included  a  two  story  wooden  build- 
ing, near  the  Rail-Road  ;  and  this  we  fitted  up  as  a  wayside 
shelter  for  the  sick,  who  were  brought  to  Charlottesville  at  all 
hours  of  day  and  night,  and  were  compelled  frequently  to  lie 
out  in  sun  or  rain,  until  arrangements  for  their  removal  could  be 
perfected.  Here  we  entertained,  in  a  short  time,  not  less  than 
200  patients,  who  were  medically  treated  by  Dr.  R.  North.  Not 
long  after  our  establishment,  Dr.  J.  L.  Cabell,  the  Surgeon  in 
charge  of  the  hospitals  at  Charlottesville,  made  a  proposition  to 
put  under  our  care  a  building  he  had  just  leased  for  a  hospital, 
and  which  had  all  the  conveniences  of  a  private  dwelling,  and 
which,  with  the  many  resources  at  our  disposal,  could  be  made  a 
Home  for  our  sick.  We  readily  consented,  and  Dr.  North  took 
wn-ofricial  charge  of  it,  and  thus,  indirectly,  was  established  tlie 
first  private  hospital  in  Virginia, — the  "Midway," — known  to 
every  Carolinian  in  the  old  army  of  the  Potomac,  as  the  pleas- 
antest  spot  except  his  own  home,  for  the  sick  and  suffering  sol- 
dier. Towards  the  latter  part  of  September,  a  movement  was 
made  in  the  State,  and  also  by  the  South  Carolinians  in  Rich- 
mond, to  increase  our  hospital  accommodations  ;  and  in  accord- 
ance with  an  arrangement  made  by  the   Surgeon   General  with 


10 

the  Georgia  State  Association,  permission  was  granted  us  to  es- 
tablish other  hospitals,  paying  for  rent  and  furniture,  with  the 
privilege  of  nominating  surgeons  for  a  Confederate  commission, 
who  should  draw  rations,  medical  supplies,  and  contract  for  nur- 
ses at  the  government  expense.  A  building  was  secured  in 
Manchester  and  promptly  organized,  by  Drs.  J.  J.  Chisholm  and 
B.  Fishburn,  the  appointed  surgeon  and  assistant  surgeon.  The 
buildings  so  well  known  in  Charlottesville  as  Mrs.  Dunkum's, 
Mrs.  Daniel's  and  Mrs.  Harris',  and  used  for  a  generation  back 
as  boarding  houses  for  students,  were  rented,  with  all  their  fur- 
niture and  conveniences  ;  and  the  services  of  two  of  the  ladies 
secured  as  matrons.  The  lines  of  the  Orange  and  Alexandria 
and  Manassas  Gap  Rail-Roads,  were  also  thoroughly  explored 
for  suitable  locations  for  hospitals  nearer  to  the  field  than  Char- 
lottesville or  Richmond,  and  after  fruitless  search  in  every  vil- 
lage, from  Gordonsville  to  Winchester,  a  large  building  was 
found  l}Ting  at  the  Warren  Springs,  but  a  mile  from  the  Manassas 
Gap  Rail-Road,  between  Front  Royal  and  Strasburg.  Tempo- 
rary accommodations  for  sick,  were  also  made  at  Salem,  and 
shortly  after  the  Monticello  House  was  added  to  the  Charlottes- 
ville group.  Something  like  an  association  was  formed  by  the 
various  gentlemen  who  met  together  in  Richmond,  sufficiently 
formal  and  distinct  to  prevent  dispersion  or  collision  of  action 
on  the  part  of  the  people  of  the  State,  yet  sufficiently  free  and 
voluntary  in  its  action  to  escape  the  deadening  influence  of  red 
tape  and  bureau  technicalities  and  restraints. 

The  executive  committee  was  composed  of  the  active  working 
members  of  the  association.  All  such,  and  none  but  such,  were 
vested  with  the  control  of  our  operations. 

The  effect  of  these  arrangements  upon  the  spirits  of  the  men 
in  the  field  was  manifest.  They  no  longer  deemed  themselves 
neglected,  or  of  little  moment.  They  felt  the  kindness  of  their 
people  in  looking  after  their  wants.  The  sight  of  Carolinians 
by  their  bed  sides,  cheered  and  gladdened  their  hearts  ;  the 
presence  of  bed  clothing  and  curtains,  crockery  and  toilet  con- 
veniences, from  their  own  homes  and  families,  brought  up  a  train 
of  pleasant  and  wholesome  associations.  Gradually  the  feeling 
of  being  neglected  by  their  government,  and  the  indifference  and 
indeed  disgust  of  the  service,  which  began  seriously  to  affect  our 
army,  passed  off,  and  we  have  had  the  assurance  from  Officers 
and  men,  that  our  hospitals  had  done  more  to  promote  re-enlist- 
ments than  all  the  appeals  of  generals  or  legislation  of  Congress  ! 

The  interest  which  the  patrons  and  friends  of  these  hospitals, 
in  the  army  and  at  home,  manifest  towards  them,  induces  us  to 
give  a  sketch  of  each  in  detail.

THE  HOSPITALS. 


[1.]  Tlic  Midway  derived  its  name  from  its  position  on  a  knoll 
midway  between  the  C.  II.,  at  Charlottesville,  and  the  Uni- 
versity. It  was  a  private  boarding-house  of  much  favor,  and 
with  its  large  rooms,  airy  passages,  commanding  prospect,  and 
double  piazzas,  was  a  place  one  would  choose  to  be  sick  and  get 
well  in.  It  was  our  first  Hospital,  and  no  pains  were  spared  to 
make  it  complete  in  every  respect.  The  Ladies'  Christian  As- 
sociation sent  us  on  a  Steward  and  Matron.  We  had  experienced 
nurses  from  Charleston.  Mr.  E.  E.  Jackson  acted  as  Apothe- 
cary, and  Dr.  Richard  North  as  Surgeon.  Dr.  LaBorde  was  a 
daily  visitor;  and  every  thing  was  done  to  banish  from  the  mind 
and  senses,  the  associations,  the  thought,  the  appearance  and 
odor  of  a  Lazaretto. 

"We  received  a  most  invaluable  accession,  just  after  opening 
the  buildrag,  in  the  persons  of  Mrs.  Rion  of  Winnsboro',  and 
Mrs.  McAlpine  of  Spartanburg,  who  acted  for  a  while  as  nurses. 
The  latter  soon  gave  way  under  the  severity  of  the  labours,  and 
was  compelled  to  return.  Mrs.  Rion,  after  the  retirement  of 
Dr.  Rivers  and  his  estimable  lady,  assumed  the  place  of  Matron, 
and  still  holds  it ;  and  a  more  efficient,  patriotic,  able,  kind, 
authoritative  manager  is  nowhere  to  be  found.  Her  manage- 
ment is  "  sui  generis."  No  one  can:  imitate  it;  no  one  surpass 
it.  In  neatness,  cheerfulness,  economy,  order,  successful  nurs- 
ing, it  has  always  been  the  first  of  our  Hospitals ;  and  it  has 
been  said  by  numberless  visitors,  to  be  the  first  of  all  the  hos- 
pitals in  Virginia.  To  this  the  kindly  and  faithful  nursing  of 
Mrs.  Pope,  of  Abbeville,  contributed  no  little;  but  the  secret 
spring  which  has  ever  given  its  peculiar  character  to  the 
Midway,  is  unquestionably  the  genius  of  the  very  remarkable 
woman  who  presides  there. 

Various  Surgeons  have  been  in  charge  of  this  hospital.  To 
Dr.  North  succeeded  Dr.  Theo.  Gourdin,  a  gentleman  of  un- 
assuming, yet  unusual  medical  attainment;  accomplished  in  all 
the  learning  of  the  profession,  and  most  happy  in  its  applica- 
tion. It  was  to  the  great  regret  to  every  member  of  the  As- 
sociation, that  ill  health  caused  him  to  return  to  the  South  with 
the  approach  of  winter,  and  that  apprehension  of  disease  still 
withholds  him  from  his  country's  service.  Dr.  Chs.  Carter,  an 
elderly  practising  physician  of  Charlottesville,  and  who  held  a 
Surgeon's  commission  in  the  war  of  1812,  was  also  in  charge 
for  some  months ;  and  wa.3  succeeded  by  Dr.  James  Mcintosh, 


12  • 

a  young  graduate  of  the  Charleston  Medical  College.  Under 
both  of  these  gentlemen  disease  yielded  to  the  touch,  and  death 
and  suffering  relaxed  their  sway. 

The  records  of  the  Midway  are  among  the  best  on  our  rolls. 

Tt  was  truly  with  pain  we  visited  this  favorite  place  to  turn  it 
over  to  the  Confederate  authorities.  It  was  like  parting  with 
a  pet  child,  but  Mrs.  Rion  still  continues  there,  assisted  by  Mrs. 
Clark  of  Charleston,,  and  this  is  a  link  with  the  past.  I  believe 
it  is  designed  to  surround  the  Midway  with  a  group  of  sheds,  or 
cabins,  such  as  are  erected  at  the  Delavan,  Chimborazo,  and  Camp 
Winder,  and  thus  make  it  the  nucleus  of  accommodations  for 
500  or  GOO  sick. 

[2.]  Soldiers'  Homes  was  a  name  we  gave,  to  avoid  the  un- 
palatable name  of  hospital,  to  the  boarding  houses  near  the 
University  at  Charlottesville,  formerly  used  by  the  students 
attending  that  Institution.  There  were  three  in  number,  and 
for  a  season  we  added  a  few  rooms  from  a  fourth  adjacent  build- 
ing. We  rented  them  with  all  the  furniture,  and  kitchen  and 
table  arrangements ;  and  in  two  instances,  secured  the  services 
of  the  very  estimable  ladies  who  owned  the  establishments.  Our 
object  was  to  banish  from  the  mind  of  the  sick  one,  all  associ- 
ations of  police  and  restraint,  and  merciless  laws  and  regula- 
tions, and  to  engender  all  the  home  feelings  so  favorable  to 
speedy  convalescence.  This  was  effectually  done  in  many 
instances  ;  and  those  who  were  fortunate  enough  to  be  inmates  of 
the  "Dunkum's  House,"  or  the  "  Harris  House,"  will  carry  always 
with  them  fond  and  grateful  remembrances  of  Mrs.  Dunkum  and 
Mrs.  Robinson,  Mrs.  McFec,  Mrs.  Waties,  Mrs.  Madray,  Mrs. 
Lott,  Miss  Clarke  and  Mrs.  Becaes.  This  group  of  buildings 
accommodated  175 — 225  patients.  Only  three  or  four,  and 
frequently  but  two,  occupied  a  single  room.  The  mortality 
here  was  unusually  slight,  and  the  entire  arrangement  proved 
as  beneficial  to  the  health  as' *fc  was  agreeable  to  the  taste  and 
feelings.  Religious  services  were  wont  to  be  held  from  house 
to  house,  and  the  plan  was  most  favorable  to  private  prayer  and 
devotion.  The  Surgeons  in  charge  of  these  hospitals,  were  Dr. 
Rembert  and  Dr.  Gourdin,  for  a  time,  and  afterwards,  Dr.  11.  E. 
Walker  of  Beaufort,  Dr.  AV.  Thompson  of  Greenville;  Dr. 
Teague  and  Dr.  Arthur,  as  Apothecaries,  and  Dr.  Chas.  Carter 
of  Charlottesville,  as  Contract  Physician.  It  was  at  one  of 
these  "homes,"  the  Ivy  House — that  one  of  the  saddest  inci- 
dents connected  with  our  work  occurred;  and  the  remembrance 
of  that  costly  sacrifice  has,  more  than  once,  come  over  our 
hearts,  with  something  like  reproach,  for  having  indueed  it. 
It  was  here  that  little  Emmy  Robinson,  the  youngest  child  of 


13 

Mrs.  Susan  Robinson,  who  had  left  her  home  in  Charleston  and 
come  on,  with  family  and  servants,  to  live  in  a  hospital  for  the 
soldier's  sake,  drooped  and  died.  She  had  been  the  light  of 
the  household,  the  soldier's  pride;  she  teased  them,  she  scolded 
them,  she  cheered  them,  she  sang  to  them,  and  read  to  them.  I 
can  never  forget  the  New  Year's  evening,  when,  mounted  upon 
the  table  in  the  dining  hall,  she  held  up  in  her  hand  the  New 
Year's  gift  for  each  soldier,  and,  reading  out  his  name,  tossed  to 
him  a  pair  of  socks,  a  pincushion,  a  kerchief  or  pocket  comb, 
with  a  merry  speech  or  saucy  joke  !  But  when  the  deep  snows 
of  January  came,  they  chilled  her  warm  heart,  and  froze  her 
gay  laugh  in  death.  Many  a  noble  and  promising  son  of  the 
South  has  drooped  beneath  the  shadows  of  the  Ivy  house; 
many  a  strong  and  stalwart  form  lies  prostrate  in  the  near  by 
University  burial  place  ;  many  a  brave  and  gallant  idol  of 
mothers  and  comrades,  and  kindred  hearts,  has  been  carried  out 
from  the  Soldier's  Home  to  that  home  from  which  there  is  no 
returning.  Six  hundred  and  sixty-four  of  the  brightest  and  best 
of  the  offerings  of  Southern  homes  and  firesides,  have  been 
offered  upon  'their  country's  altars  in  that  classic  village — but, 

"The  noblest  tiling  that  perished  there, 
Was  that  young  and  faithful  heart/' 

[3.]  The  Monticello  was  formerly  the  main  hotel  in  Char- 
lottesville, and  consisted  of  two  very  large  building^,  capable 
of  holding  300  patients  with  comfort.  No  less  than  500  were 
thrown  into  it  in  the  early  summer  of  1861,  with  scarce  a  pro- 
vision for  their  reception ;  and  the  number  of  deaths,  together 
with  the  breaking  out  of  typhoid  fever,  caused  it  to  be  aban- 
doned ;  and  fixed  upon  it  a  deep-seated  prejudice.  For  months, 
we  looked  at  the  spacious  pile  across  from  our  residence,  and 
notwithstanding  its  many  admirable  qualifications,  we  dreaded 
resuming  the  experiment  of  re-opening  it  again  for  the  sick. 
The  approach  of  winter,  however,  together  with  the  necessity 
of  increasing,  and  the  difficulty  of  obtaining  accommodations, 
induced  us  finally  to  make  the  trial.  It  was  scraped,  and 
cleansed,  and  white-washed  from  garret  to  cellar,  and  made 
ready  for  the  sick  by  December.  While  completing  the  furni- 
ture of  the  older  portion,  a  fire  broke  out  and  destroyed  for  all 
use  one-half  the  building.  A  merciful  providence  seemed  to 
protect  us  in  this  alarming  accident.  Of  the  100  invalids  in 
the  building  at  the  time,  roused  up  at  night,  m?.ny  of  them  from 
their  beds,  and  carried  in  arms  and  on  litters,  to  the  neighbor- 
ing houses,  not  one  suffered  inconvenience.     Three  of  them, 


14 

■whose  lives  were  despaired  of,  and  who  were  scarcely  expected 
to  live  the  night  out,  were,  in  a  wonderful  manner,  startled  into 
life  again,  and  subsequently  recovered. 

The  Monticello  was  fortunate  in  being  so  near  our  abode.  Its 
welfare  was  never  out  ot  sight  or  mind.  Its  inmates  were  ob- 
jects of  daily  thought  and  concern,  to  all  of  the  committee,  but 
mainly  to  Mrs.  Lesesne  of  Charleston,  and  Mrs.  Bacot  of  So- 
cietv  Hill,  and  Miss  Habcraham  of  Beaufort,  who  supervised  the 
wards,  the  diet,  and  the  laundry,  under  the  direction  and  constant 
personal  attention  of  our  humane  and  accomplished  surgeon,  Dr. 
E.  J.  Rembert,  of  Sumter,  was  the  comfort  and  success  of  the 
establishment  owing.  Dr.  Rambert,  in  addition  to  his  office  du- 
ties as  director  of  all  the  South  Carolina  Hospitals,  performed 
all  those  of  physician  to  the  Monticello,  and  had  frequently  un- 
der his  charge  the  patients  of  Midway  and  the  Soldiers  Homes. 
By  some  mistake  he  received  the  appointment  of  assistant  sur- 
geon only,  though  performing  all  the  duties,  and  fully  entitled 
to  the  rank  of  surgeon  in  full. 

The  condition  ot  the  building  has  never  been  as  neat  and  or- 
derly as  the  Midway  or  as  home-like  as  the  Soldiers  Homes,  but 
it  nevertheless  maintained  a  popularity  among  our  soldiers ;  and 
how  could  it  be  otherwise,  when  cheered  daily  by  the  buoyant 
spirits  and  smiling  face  of  Mrs.  Lesesne,  and  the  quiet  but  un- 
ceasing devotion  of  Mrs.  Bacot. 

The  fire  destroyed  the  dietary  department  which  had  been 
elaborately  fitted  up  for  Miss  Habersham,  but  she  continued,  in 
addition  to  her  housekeeping  duties  at  the  Maupin  House,  to 
supply  nourishment  and  delicacies  to  the  sick  at  the  Monticello. 

[4.]  "Warren  Springs  Hospital  is  situated  at  the  Warren 
Springs,  fifty-five  miles  from  Manassas,  midway  between 
Strasbnrg  and  Front  Royal,  places  now  familiar  to  every  South- 
ern fireside.  It  was  a  popular  watering  place  and  resort  of  the 
people  of  the  Valley  of  Virginia.  A  large  three  story  building, 
with  capacious  ball  room  and  dining-room,  thirty  or  forty  com- 
fortable chambers,  and  triple  piazzas  in  front  and  rear.  We 
hired  it  with  all  its  furniture  and  designed  to  make  it  a  winter 
home  for  our  disabled  soldiers.  Dr.  Wm.  Post  was  put  in  charge, 
as  surgeon,  and  was  assisted  for  a  while  by  Dr.  F.  M.  Robertson, 
Jr.,  of  our  State.  Rev.  G.  W.  Hicks  represented  the  committee 
in  supervising  its  household  arrangements,  and  to  his  love  and 
habits  of  order,  its  admirable  management  was  mainly  due.  He 
was  assisted  in  his  work  by  Mrs.  Waties  of  Columbia,  Miss 
Hart  and  Miss  Foushee  of  Culpeper,  and  Miss  Virginia  Davi- 
son of  Warren  County.  The  house  was  a  cold  one  for  winter, 
and  required  many  expedients  to  keep  it  equably  warmed,  but 


15 

in  every  other  respect,  it  was  all  that  the  most  fastidious  taste 
could  reasonably  desire.  It  was  opened  in  November  1861,  and 
received  "174  patients,  of  whom  20  died  Owing  to  a 
representation  of  Dr.  Post's,  of  its  bleak  position  and  other  al- 
leged objections,-  the  Surgeon  General  ordered  it  to  be  closed ; 
but  a  report  of  the  medical  inspector,  Dr.  Gaillard,  approving 
of  its  location,  arrangements,  comforts,  in  terms  of  the  highest 
praise,  the  order  was  recalled — too  late,  however,  for  us.  '  The 
work  of  disorganization  had  commenced  ;  servants  had  been  dis- 
charged, and  stores  packed  and  ready  for  shipment  to  Char- 
lottesville. We  abandoned  it  on  the  7th  March,  1862.  Just  at 
this  time,  an  application  was  made  by  the  Georgia  Hospital  As- 
sociation, upon  the  recommendation  of  the  medical  director,  to 
secure  the  building,  and  we  transferred  our  lease  to  them. 

The  retreat  from  the  line  of  the  Manassa  Railroad  ensued  im- 
mediately after.  Indeed  our  stores  were  moved  away  in  the  face 
of  the  advancing  enemy,  and  the  Georgians  were  compelled  to 
abandon  some  of  their  furniture  purchased  from  us.  The  build- 
ing has  never  been  re-opened,  and,  we  learn,  that  in  consequence 
of  its  having  been  used  by  South  Carolinians,  the  Yankee  hate 
of  our  State  and  people,  upon  taking  possession  of  the  country, 
wreaked  that  wrath  upon  'the  property  which  they  would  fain 
have  poured  out  upon  Charleston.  The  memory  of  our  work  at 
Warren  is,  alas,  saddened  by  the  fact  that  Mrs.  Waties  here 
breathed  her  last,  from  an  attack  of  pneumonia,  taken  in  her  de- 
votion to  her  duty,  and  her  privilege — the  care  of  the  sick. 
She  was  as  truly  a  martyr  as  those  that  fell  in  the  gorge  below, 
leading  up  to  the  heights,  upon  which  we  hewed  her  out  a 
grave,  when  Jackson's  cohorts  routed  the  invading  columns 
of  the  marauding  Banks  and  Shields.  Like  them,  too,  she 
died  without  a  murmur.  She  had  gone  to  Virginia  to  be 
near  her  son,  whom  she  had  given  to  her  country  in  the  ranks  of 
the  Governor's  Guards  from  Columbia :  and  with  the  persuasion 
that  other  kind  hands  would  do  for  him,  what  she' died  in  doing 
for  others,  her  pure  Christian  spirit  passed  to  its  joy  and  rest. 

[5.]  Salem  Hospital  was  only  a  temporary  arrangement  for 
the  accommodation  of  one  hundred  sick  soldiers  at  a  time  of 
great  pressure  for  room  in  the  hospitals  along  the  Orange  & 
Alexandria,  and  Manassas  Gap  Railroads.  Salem  is  a  small 
town,  twenty  or  thirty  miles  from  the  battle-field  of  Manassas. 
It  contains  few  large  houses  adapted  for  hospital  purposes,  and 
though  frequently  visited  by  medical  inspectors,  had  failed  to 
offer  any  inducements  for  locating  there.  In  looking  for  the 
site  of  an  additional  hospital  which  was  to  be  in  his  charge,  Dr. 
Isaac  Branch  deemed  it  in  some  respects  desirable,  and  undei 


16 

some  misapprehension  one  hundred  sick  South  Carolinians  were 
sent  there  for  treatment,  "before  a  single  preparation  was  made 
for  them.  Private 'houses  were  rented,  however,  and  hoard  ob- 
tained for  them,  and  Dr.  Branch  went  very  vigorously  to  work 
to  make  them  comfortable,  and  to  establish  a  permanent  hospit- 
al. The  place,  however,  failed  to  recommend  itself  to  any  of 
the  committee.  The  medical  director  was  unwilling  to  give  his 
sanction  to  its  adoption.  It  was  impossible  to  secure  a  commis- 
sion for  the  surgeon,  essential  to  draw  the  rations  and  medical 
stores  for  the  sick ;  until  the  hospital  was  established  and  received. 
This  was  unavoidably  deferred,  and  Dr.  Branch  became  dissatis- 
fied and  thought  it  best  to  go  home.  Dr.  Williams  of  Fairfax 
county,  was  left  in  charge,  and  while  much  exposure  had  been 
incurred  ;  and  improvements  begun,  were  to  be  abandoned  at  a 
complete  loss;  we  deemed  it  judicious  to  discontinue  any  further 
operations,  and  to  send  no  more  sick  there.  Of  the  one  hun- 
dred patients,  it  is  pleasant  to  state,  that  only  two  died,  which 
is  compensation  enough  for  the  large  sum,  $641  00,  expended 
at  Salem. 

[6.]  Wayside  Hospital,  was  the  name  we  gave  to  large  hos- 
pital tents,  which  were  pitched  at  Fairfax  Station,  for  the  shelter 
of  the  sick,  who  were  brought  from'  the  camps  to  the  Railroad 
Station,  to  take  the  early  morning  cars  for  the  hospitals  in  the 
rear.  No  language  can  portray  the  suffering  endured  by  our 
sick  soldiers  before  this  and  other  still  more  extensive  provisions 
were  made  for  housing  and  feeding  them,  before  they  took  that 
dreadful  passage  of  thirty  to  forty  hours,  on  box  cars,  for  Rich- 
mond and  Charlottesville.  The  custom  was,  to  send  them  from 
camp  the  day  before,  to  Fairfax  Station,  where  they  arrived  at 
night.  No  shelter  was  here  for  their  weary  and  fevered  heads. 
No  food  or  stimulant  for  their  fainting  bodies.  They  lay  over 
all  night,  often  in  rain  and  sometimes  in  the  burning  sun  the 
following  day,  without  one  morsel  of  food  and  no  one  to  give 
them  water,  from  the  lone  and  always  crowded  spring.  They 
were  tumbled  into  box  or  platform  cars,  from  which  grain,  or 
bacon,  or  even  horses,  had, been  just  removed;  and  mostly  in  the 
chill  and  early  morning,  before  the  light  of  day,  were  sent  off 
to  Manassas  junction,  to  meet  the  daily  morning,  or,  in  case  of 
detention,  the  evening  train.  To  lessen  this  evil,  we  obtained, 
in  Richmond,  two  very  large  sized  tents  and  one  smaller  one, 
and  carrying  down  beds  and  supplies,  with  plank  for  flooring,  in 
a  car,  we  pitched  in  the  wild  woods  our  Wayside  Hospital.  The 
very  first  night — before  our  tents  were  well  stretched  upon  their 
poles,  or  fires  lits — eventy  sick  from  Jenkins'  and  Kershaw's 
regiments,  came  upon  us.     But  tea  and  coffee,  was  readily  pre- 


17 

pared — though  the  beds  were  not  made  up,  the  canvass  above 
kept  off  the  chilling,  poisonous  dews;  an  early  morning  repast 
was  hastily  furnished  some,  fresh  clothing  given  to  others,  pro- 
visions and  reviving  wines  supplied  for  the  journey ;  and  the 
dread  of  "  being  sent  back"  to  the  rear,  began  to  pass  off  from 
the  soldiers'  fevered  dreams.  Our  expenses  were  small,  but 
§399  in  all,  in  money.  The  provisions  were  supplied  from  our 
Bureau,  at  Charlottesville,  and  the  commissaries  of  the  regi- 
ments. A  cook,  and  a  nurse,  the  entire  force  to  assist  Mr.  Jack- 
son. But  during  the  brief  period  of  our  stay,  no  less  than  nine 
hundred  soldiers  were  bedded  and  fed,  and  dressed  and  put  on 
board  the  cars  at  Fairfax  station.  The  order  to  fall  back  from 
the  station  to  Manassas,  caused  a  hasty  striking  of  our  tents ; 
and  when  we  designed  re-erecting  them  at  the  Manassas  June- 
tion,  one  hundred  hospital  tents  erected  by  the  Medical  Direc- 
tor, rendered  our  work  unnecessary,  and  released  Mr.  Jackson 
for  other  fields  of  labour. 

[7.]  Manchester  hospital,  is  situated  at  the  terminus  of  the  bridge 
which  spans  the  James  river,  and  connects  Richmond  with  the 
town  of  Manchester.     It  was  originally  a  tobacco  factory,  and 
capable  of  accommodating  one  hundred  and  fifty  patients  in  the 
main  building.    An  adjacent  house,  formerly  a  stem  and  store- 
house, and  connected  with  the  factory  by  a  broad  scaffolding,  is 
used  for  dining-room,  kitchen  and  laundry.     It  was  organized 
by  Dr.  J.  J,  Chisolm,  with  the  assistance  of  Dr.  Fishburn,  in 
the  month  of  October,  1861.     The  owner  of  the  building,  Mr. 
Pilkinton,  whose  residence  was  immediately  adjoining,  was  ap- 
pointed Steward,  and  to  his  untiring  energy,  acquaintance  with 
business,  influence  among  the  citizens  of  Manchester,  and  uni- 
form urbanity,  the   early  popularity   and   comfort   of  the   Man- 
chester hospital  was  very  much   due.     Unfortunately,  for  the 
continuity  of  the  system   inaugurated  by  Dr.  Chisolm,  both  he 
and  Dr.  Fishburn  returned  to  Carolina,  early  in  November,  and 
the  hospital  passed  in  a  very  short  space  of  time  into  three  or 
four  different  hands.     Notwithstanding  the  excellent  qualities  of 
Dr.  Geo.  M.  Rivers,  who  succeeded  Dr.  Chisolm,  and  the  dili- 
gent attention  of  Dr.  F.  L.  Parker,  who  filled  the   intervul  be- 
tween Dr.  Rivers'  resignation,  in  January,  and  the  appointment 
of  Dr.  Rives,  of  Virginia,  formerly  of  Gen.  Bonham's  staff,  in 
the  latter  part  of  February ;  and  in  spite  of  the  earnest  endea- 
vors of  the  last  named  gentleman,  during  the  short  weeks  of  his 
life :  much  confusion  and  derangement  took  place  in   the  details 
of  the  management,  and  after  another  interreguum,  filled  with 
commendable  zeal  by  Dr.  Parker,   Dr.   Middleton  Michel  was 
appointed  to  the  place ;  in  April,  but  found,  with  the  pressure  of 

2

the  sick  and  wounded  from  the  camps  and  battle  fields  about  Rich- 
mond, little  time  to  bring  every  thing  into  definite  order.  On 
the  19th  of  June,  while  amputating  an  arm,  shattered  by  a  ball 
in  the  battles  of  the  Seven  Pines,  he  was  inadvertently  inoculated, 
and  was  for  six  weeks  in  danger  of  life  and  limb,  and  for  months 
incapacitated  for  active  duty.  Mr.  Pilkinton,  too,  fell  sick  at 
the  same  time,  and  was  for  a  long  time  near  unto  death.  It  was 
most  unfortunate  for  the  good  condition  of  the  hospital.  Tho 
assistant  surgeons  applied  themselves  with  the  greatest  devotion 
to  the  wounded ;  as  many  as  three  hundred  were  there  at  one 
time.  The  statistics  prove  that  no  labour  or  skill  was  spared  in 
dressing  their  wounds  and  relieving  their  suffering ;  but  all  that 
related  to  the  government,  and  good  order,  and  cleanliness  of 
the  establishment,  was  neglected,  and  a  train  of  evils  and  abu- 
ses set  in,  which  led  finally  to  a  serious  grievance  and  condem- 
nation. 

With  a  perfect  knowledge  of  the  case,  the  advantage  of  daily 
observation,  and  a  most  sensitive  regard  to  the  welfare  of  the 
patients,  we  can  lay  blame  no  where.  The  unfortunate  illness 
of  Surgeon  and  Steward  was  the  sole  cause.  Dr.  Michel,  though 
incapacitated  for  active  duty,  entitled  and  urged  to  take  a  fur- 
lough ;  yet  for  the  sake  of  giving  the  advantage  of  his  advice 
and  counsel,  and  at  our  earnest  solicitation,  remained  in  charge, 
and  rendered  inestimable  service  in  conferring  with,  and  direct- 
ing the  assistant  surgeons,  and  in  giving  his  experience  and 
eounsel  to  numbers  of  Carolinians  who  were  in  private  residen- 
ces in  the  city,  and  within  reach  of  his  abode.  Since  his 
recovery,  he  has  taken  the  reins  fully  in  hand,  upturning  and 
re-organizing  every  department.  No  establishment  in  Virginia, 
promises  more  comfort  to  its  inmates,  for  the  winter,  than  the 
Manchester  hospital.  Rev.  G.  W.  Hicks  has  recently  received 
the  appointment  of  Chaplain  there,  and  will  be  in  every  way  an 
acquisition.  We  cannot  speak  in  too  high  praise  of  the  young 
medical  gentlemen  who  have  been  located  there ;  some  from  the 
beginning  of  the  hospital,  Dr.  Parker,  Dr.  Biisel,  Dr.  Jerkins, 
and  Mr.  Bird,  also  Dr.  Johnson,  Mr.  John  Parker,  and  Dr.  But- 
ler, -of  Edgefield.  They  have  evinced  with  a  love  for  their  pro- 
fession, a  spirit  of  benevolence  and  kindness  to  th«  sick,  with  not 
a  trace  of  that  official  indifference  and  ease  which  has  been  char- 
ged in  the  public  prints  upon  the  medical  staff.  Dr.  Bissel,  it 
will  be  remembered,  was  among  the  first  to  join  us  in  our  work, 
and  a  warmer  heart  and  abler  nurse  was  never  found  by  the  bed- 
side of  the  sick. 

The  cold  weather  has  required  the  removal  of  the  tents  erected 
by  Dr.  Michel,  and  the  hospital  has  again  contracted  to  its  for- 


19 

mer  dimensions.     It  is  much  to  be  regretted  that  it  cannot  be 
enlarged  for  winter  use. 

[8.]  Petersburg  Hospital  was  opened  at  the  recommendation  of 
the  Surgeon  General,  in  April  last,  when  the  transferrer}  ce  of 
the  armj  to  the  neighbourhoood  of  Richmond  rendered  it  desi- 
rable to  concentrate  Hospital  accommodation  in  the  various 
cities  and  towns  near  the  capital.  A  very  capacious  factory,  or 
rather  a  group  of  factories,  was  secured  through  the  efforts  of 
Dr.  T.  A.  Lafar,  and  bringing  to  our  aid  the  experience  of  the 
entire  committee,  it  was  in  a  week  or  so,  cleansed  and  fitted  up 
for  the  reception  of  the  sick.  It  accommodates  450  patients 
with  ease — is  divided  into  7  large  wards  ;  has  all  the  advantages 
of  water  and  gas;  is  admirably  arranged  in  its  laundry  and  cu- 
linary departments ;  is  well  heated  in  winter  and  well  ventilated 
in  summer.  Dr.  Broadinax,  of  the  city  of  Petersburg,  was  the 
Surgeon  in  charge,  and  Dr.  Ed.  R.  "Walker  was  transferred  from 
the  Soldiers'  Homes  in  Charlottesville,  as  his  assistant.  Owing 
to  some  imaginary  difficulty  in  transporting  the  sick  from  Rich- 
mond, or  the  reluctance  of  the  Surgeon  General,  to  recognize 
and  further  the  distribution  of  those  from  the  same  States,  in 
the  same  Hospital ;  very  few  of  our  own  troops  have  been  sent 
to  Petersburg.  The  Hospital  has  therefore  sometimes  been 
comparatively  empty,  and  been  most  generally  filled  with  North 
Carolinians.  Most  of  our  Committee  are  domiciled  here.  Mr. 
E.  E.  Jackson  holds  the  place  of  Apothecary — Mr.  Hicks  has 
supervision  of  the  Wards — Miss  Hart,  from  Warren,  of  the 
Laundry,  and  Mr.  and  Mrs.  McMaster  act  in  the  capacity  of 
Hospital  Steward  and  Matron.  To  the  energy  and  patient  in- 
dustry of  Mr.  G.  H.  McMaster  are  unquestionably  due  the  great 
praise  which  has  been  lavished  on  the  floor  of  Congress,  and 
every  where,  upon  this  Hospital.  In  fact,  long  and  diversified 
experience  has  taught  us,  that  upon  the  Steward  depends  main- 
ly the  comfort,  order  and  success  of  any  Hospital.  To  medical 
skill,  and  faithful,  prudent  nursing,  the  recovery  of  serious  cases 
is  of  course,  mostly  due.  But  the  large  number  of  patients  in 
a  Hospital  need  little  medicine  and  less  nursing,  and  the  com- 
fort, diet,  and  management  of  these,  rest  with  the  Steward. 
Mr.  McMaster  has  been  offered  positions  of  rank  and  other  ad- 
vantages in  the  army,  but  has  preferred  to  remain  where  he  is, 
without  either,  and  where  he  cannot  be  spared. 

"THE  BUREAU." 

The  object  of  this  department  of  our  operations  has  been 
already  stated  to  be,  the  storage,  assortment  and  distribution  of 
such  supplies  as  may  bo   needed  by  the  sick  and  needy  in  the 


/  20 

field,  or  in  Hospitals.  We  have  endeavored,  so  far  as  was  prac- 
ticable in  the  "whirl  and  press  of  business,  to  wort  systematical- 
ly, and  to  carry  on  the  system  of  book-keeping  commenced  by 
Mr.  Wm.  C.  Bee.  This  was  to  have  an  "Invoice  book,"  into 
which  all  the  boxes,  with  lists  of  their  contents  were  copied — an 
"  Issue  book,"  into  which  all  the  articles  given  out  in  gross  and 
piece-meal,  were  registered — a  "  Requisition  book,"  into  which 
were  copied  lists  of  all  articles  issued  at  the  counter  upon  per- 
sonal application  of  the  soldier,  or  recommendation  of  the  Sur- 
geon, Ward  Master,  Steward  or  Captain.  These  have  been  kept 
up  by  different  hands;  but  most  of  them  are  in  the  hand-writing 
of  Prof.  Rivers,  Mr.  Jones,  Dr.  Gourdin,  Mrs.  Barnwell,  and 
Miss  Habersham.  They  enable  us  to  make  the  following  in- 
teresting abstracts — 

The  Invoice  book  records  the  contents  of  876  packages,  re- 
ceived from  July,  1861,  to  November,  1862.  Most  of  these 
were  large,  some  few  ponderous.  Many  of  them  were  valued  at 
the  time  of  reception  at  $200,  some  at  $500,  and  very  few  be- 
low $40.  When  our  books  were  laid  before  Mr.  Jones,  of  the 
passport  office,  in  Richmond,  who  was  collecting  such  data,  he 
estimated  the  average  value  of  the  boxes  at  $100.  This  was 
in  September,  1861.  Making  allowance  for  the  enormous  in- 
crease of  value,  especially  in  articles  of  clothing,  wines  and 
medicines,  since  then,  we  think  we  may  fairly  set  them  down 
at  $250,  and  the  contributions  would  thus  mount  up  to 
$210,000  00. 

As  a  matter  of  interest  we  annex  an  alphabetical  list  of  the 
individuals,  or  societies,  or  districts  from  which  we  have  received 
boxes.  Many  of  these  are  credited  with  several  boxes.  Ladies 
of  Greenville,  for  instance,  with  15 — Ladies'  Association,  Winns- 
boro',  16 — Y.  M.  Christian  Association  of  Charleston,  64.  Un- 
der the  head  of  "  Unknown,"  we  record  near  200.  In  these 
cases  the  box  has  not  been  sufficiently  designated,  or  has  borne 
only  the  railroad  mark — and  if  any  person  or  district,  sending 
us  boxes,  should  miss  them  from  this  list,  they  should  not  con- 
sider them  lost;  as  they  may  be  included  in  the  "  Unknown,"  or 
have  been  accredited  to  the  district  or  village,  rather  than  to  the 
individual.  Doubtless  many  of  our  boxes  have  been  lost,  but 
not  near  so  many  as  has  been  supposed.  During  the  period  of 
shipment  through  Messrs.  Coffee  &  Pringle,  we  lost  not  over 
twenty;  and  under  the  arrangement  we  adopted  last  summer,  to 
send  them  to  Columbia,  to  the  care  of  Dr.  LaBorde,  and  thence 
by  a  special  agent  to  Richmond,  we  have  lost  few,  if  any.  It 
is  strenuously  urged  that  this  mode  of  transportation  be  used 
in  every  case.

In  the  distribution  of  these  supplies  there  were  three  modes — 
by  wholesale  to  brigade  or  regimental  hospitals  in  the  field,  or 
to  general  hospitals,  established  anywhere  in  Virginia.  In  this 
case  we  transmitted  boxes,  as  they  came  to  us,  directly  to  the 
point  needed,  or  we  packed  boxes  ourselves  of  assorted  stores. 
In  this  way  we  sent  hundreds  of  cases  to  Bonham's  Brigade, 


25 

Hampton's  Legion,  Culpeper,  White  Sulphur  Springs,  Winder 
Hospital,  Warrenton,  Winchester,  <fcc.  Another  mode  was  to 
supply  special  hospitals,  or  companies,  with  what  they  needed, 
and  for  which  they  made  application.  Thus  we  furnished  all 
of  $ur  hospitals  with  all  their  furniture,  bed-clothing,  and  what- 
ever of  nourishment  was  required.  Thus  we  supplied  Chimbo- 
razo,  or  Winder,  Manchester,  Captain  Bradley's  company,  Pal- 
metto Guards,  &c. 

A  third  mode  was  to  furnish  from  the  counter,  to  each  soldier, 
in  person,  or  by  messenger,  whatever  he  needed.  These  requi- 
sitions are  written  on  scraps  of  paper  and  filed,  and  subse- 
quently transferred  to  a  register;  as  a  sample  of  which  I  annex 
a  page  taken  from  the  October — Xovember  issue.  Besides  this, 
numberless  articles  were  distributed  by  us  in  our  visits  to  the 
hospitals,  of  which  no  account  was  taken.  And  in  this  way  the 
entire  mass  of  contributions,  save  what  now  lies  upon  our 
shelves,  has  been  scattered  far  and  wide,  carrying  relief  and 
good  cheer  to  the  gallant  and  suffering  sons,  brothers,  and  hus- 
bands of  our  people.

In  the  conduct  of  the  Bureau  all  have  taken  share — all  of 
those  connected  with  us  in  the  work  divided  the  labors,  and  also 
the  unrestrained  privilege  of  giving  according  to  discretion,  to 
the  needy  or  suffering.  All  that  was  enjoined  was,  to  keep  a 
record  of  what  was  done,  and  place  it  on  file.  To  Dr.  T. 
A.  Lafar,  however,  fell  the  burden  of  duties  in  this  department. 
Besides  attending  to  the  general  weal  of  the  Association  in  the 
absence  of  the  Chairman,  disbursing  funds,  and  performing 
many  of  the  duties  of  Hospital  Steward ;  he  was  specially  in- 
trusted with  the  care  of  the  Bureau,  and  faithfully  has  helper- 
formed  his  manifold  duties. 

Nor  must  we  forget  to  mention  in  this  place  our  mirthful, 
humorous,  hard-working  and  faithful  clerk,  D.  H.  Miscally.  In 
packing  and  unpacking ;  assorting  and  folding;  at  the  railroad 
depots  and  in  the  camps ;  as  nurse,  travelling  agent  or  caterer, 
he  was  indispensable ;  and  the  conscript  law,  which  forced  upon 
his  conscience  the  feeling  that  he  ought  to  be  serving  his  State, 
with  his  musket  on  his  shoulder,  inflicted  a  severe  blow  to  us, 
in  taking  him  away.  Would  he  were  with  us  now !  In  our 
clothing  department  he  would  be  invaluable. 

FINANCES. 

We  had  hoped  to  put  upon  permanent  record  here,  the  libe- 
ral donations  in  money  which  have  poured  into  us  in  aid  of  this 
noble  work  ;  but  having  been  disappointed  in  getting  all  of  the 
lists  from  our  various  receiving  agents — and  these  lists,  on  ac- 
count of  the  number  of  small  offerings,  (widows',  poor  men's, 
and  orphan's  mites,)  being  long— and  most  of  the  acknowledg- 
ments having  been  already  made  in  some  of  the  public  prints, 
we  have  therefore  given  only  the  amounts  total  received  through 
various  hands. 

By  this  it  will  be  seen  that  the  voluntary  contributions  of  the 
State  to  us  has  been  large,  amounting  to  $32,512  61.  See 
table  (A.) 


27 

To  this  is  to  be  added  the  donation  of  the  State,  amounting 
to  $18,482  50.     See  table  (A.) 

Making  in  all  $50,995  11.  Of  this  we  have  expended  §28,- 
883  83,  (see  table  B.,)  and  have  on  hand  for  future  operations, 
$22,111  28.  We  have  been  chary  of  our  means,  for  we  have 
felt  that  the  day  of  plenty  was  behind  us,  and  we  could  see  no 
end  to  the  necessities  of  the  future  ;  but  we  have  not  been  slack 
where  the  occasion  demanded  to  pour  forth  liberally  of  our 
hoarded  bounties.  Economy  and  prudence  are  most  essential 
at  this  time,  for  we  get  but  one  dollar  where  before  we  got  two, 
and  we  must  give  four  for  what  once  cost  but  one.

THE  PRESENT  AND  THE  FUTURE. 

In  the  report  to  the  Legislature,  prefacing  this  report,  it  is 
stated  that  we  no  longer  have  any  hospitals  under  our  manage- 
ment', and  the  reasons  for  turning  them  over  to  the  Confederate 
authorities  are  therein  given.  But  while  we  have  ceased  to  take 
rare  of  hospitals,  toe  have  not  ceased  to  ivatch  over  the  Caroli- 
nians in  hospital.  From  our  bureau,  established  in  Richmond, 
we  are  issuing  daily  to  any  hospital  in  the  city,  where  Caroli- 
nians are  inmates,  any  thing  they  may  need  for  their  better 
comfort  or  condition.  We  seek  out  the  needy -and  send  them 
clothing,  or  delicacies:  we  fill-all  requests  from  soldiers  visiting 
us,  for  any  o£  the  supplies  which  may  be  on  our  shelves.  We 
also  keep  up  our  correspondence  with  the  hospitals  in  the  | 
vinces  and  regiments  in  the  field,  and  send  to  them  all  that  we 
have  to  alleviate  or  cheer.  Our  bureau  occupies  the  lower  floor 
of  a  large  three  story  building,  admirably  situated,  in  the 
great  thoroughfare  street  of  Richmond.  There  we  have,. arran- 
ged upon  shelves,  all  the  manifold  bounties  sent  on  for  our  sick. 
wounded  or  needy.  Above,  we  have  an  entire  floor  appropri  •- 
ted  to  the  clothing  sent  on  for  troops  in  the  field  by  the  Central 
and  other  State  Asspciations.  And  in  the  third  story,  we  store 
away,  in  order  and  security,  such  private  baggage  as  our  troops 
cannot  take  with  them,  but  which  they  desire  to  have  access  to 
from  time  to  time.  Our  design  is  to  do  all  we  can,  and  in  every 
way  we  car.,  to  help  the  soldier  ;  and  so  long  as  contributions  of 
money  and  of  stores  flow  in  to  us,  we  never  lack  opportunity  of 
appropriating  them  to  good  use.  We  solicit,  then,  a  continu- 
ance of  the  liberality  of  our  people.  We  want  funds.  We 
want  supplies  of  any  and  all  kinds.  There  is  nothing,  absolutely 
nothing,  which  is  not  available  in  some  way  to  the  sick;  even 
harks  have  served  their  good  turn,  and  old  rags  are  in  daily  de- 
mand. 

Because  the  State  is  awaking  to  do  her  duty,  let  not  the  peo- 
ple go  to  sleep  over  theirs.  Strengthen  our  hands,  then,  gene- 
rous women  of  Carolina,  again  as  you  have  done  till  now,  and 
for  all  your  sacrifices  and  offerings,  He  that  blesseth  the  cup  of 
col4  water,  will  bless  you.

In  behalf  of  So.  Ca.  Hospital  Aid  Association.
